[quote=Anonymous]She was the eldest of the family and died of a heart attack at 46 -- leaving a 15 year old and her DH of the same time frame... BIL seems to be coping but we have a toddler and a newborn so aren't as involved in family matters (we are all local) as we could... I do not do well with death. It's just who I am.. DH's family are stoic's which kills me because my family growing up was the same way... for some reason I got the "emotion" gene and I cry. NO.ONE.ELSE.CRIES. When we went to the cemetery for SIL's Bday this past June I got evil eyes from the family for letting the toddler wander and not "participating"... IMO SIL knows how I feel about her in spirit and I don't need to make a big show. But I am dreading this weekend and am trying to come up with coping strategies that don't involve me drinking a bottle of wine before the event. Vent over -- flame away (and yes, I know I have a drinking problem.. that's not the issue here so please don't go there)[/quote]
